The road/bridge is literally RIGHT by the beach... it borders the shoreline in the cove... Pretty awesome spot on O'ahu if you've never been... GO check it
62 year old grandma here watching anything like this for the first time. Glad I caught one of the craziest! This raises my BP just watching, so have to be careful how much I watch - LOL. But you got another subscriber! Thanks for the chance to learn something new about Nature - effing awesome!
Thank you! Nobody there will ever forget that. Incredible photography and editing help explain with depth what's going down and how crazy it is. A beautiful piece of art at times.
I have had some gnarly experience with the river shorebreak combo, but this session looks like next level. I probably wouldn’t have even attempted this session.
Met this guy in Mexico, he a kind sole. Took the time to take pics with me even tho he was out going to dinner with his girl. He's just like the videos no fake new here!! Thanks JOB for taking time to make my day!! Stoked!
I used to work at the Falls in the early 70's. We would dig out a channel for the water to drain because we would be flooded at the park. The river has emptied into the bay forever and when certain conditions come together a channel needs to be dug. The shore break closes river mouth with sand, heavy rainfall up Valley, raging falls, then flooding at the park. Stop with the "environmental " comments...this is Mother Nature people.
I'm stunned you are allowed to do this. Anything that Awesome is always stopped by the adults. Much respect! One of the coolest things I have ever seen
In California something like this would be frowned upon because of the toxicity and pollution of a lot of the creeks/rivers that lead to the ocean. Especially in more populated areas like Southern California. But here it’s not a big deal. With how often it rains in Hawaii and with Waimea Bay being a major outlet for the islands water runoff, something like this would happen on its own without human intervention. And with the large surf swells that cycle here throughout the year, the beach is naturally rebuilt and kept in sync
Jamie really appreciate how your super excited to hit the river and still took the time to take the selfie with your fans. Ambassador of north shore and during as a whole. 💜🕉🙏🏼
Gnarly?! Gnarly is an understatement! That thing is richter! Yea boys! So psyching for you! May not have been at the moment, but for us fans and viewers, this is psyching! Mahalo for sharing your experience! Have fun and be safe 🤙🏼
New in the last few years of surfing, but longtime kayaker. Need a life vest or at least a big rescue rig. Flush drowning and huge recirculating hydraulics can definitely ruin the day. Glad no one drowned. Super entertaining though and that wave jaime go on that skim board was epic.
I just got back from Hawaii. It was so neat to see this place in person, unfortunately the river was low that day. The water was beautiful though and I will never forget this magical place.
So rad , quick story, in 1983 me kalohe Bloomfield, Jason majors and Erin graberick did exactly that and almost died!! We dug it out with 10 foot shore break and a flash flood river like that. Much respect and luv your show🤙🏽💪
The recirculating current it produced is quite dangerous. Drowning machine dangerous. All that combined with a really rough surf meeting it head on. Crazy.
I’ve been watching Jamie for years and this is one of the more dangerous things I’ve seen him do and there’s definitely never been a river this psycho. Glad nobody got too beat down.
I saw a tiktok of how xl it got and have been waiting for you to drop this video! One more second on that wave and it turned into a MONSTER! Already was huge great work!
Got my stay psyched sweat shirt and t shirt , waiting for something autographed, love it! Best presents ever ! Heading back again in March, love river video best one I remember
@@Paka_lolo86 don't give a crap that you do it all the time that's not what I said. You need to learn to read and understand the words. And not make conclusions like the government does. Learn to read
One of the greatest things I ever saw while living on island was the river break through, watching every on dig and surf it, but this was the craziest one I've ever seen!
Man that was crazy, so glad everyone made it out safe and sound. Next all time river everyone gonna be packing floatation or at least a leash. Must have been compete chaos going on under that rager.
Guess no matter how experienced you are in heavy surf and used to heavy beatings, that vortex of vortexes is gonna humble anyone. I would definitely sh*t my pants if I got caught out there!
That was like the most epically gnarly I've seen Waimea river get so far,in my brief history of watching you guys perform in this Arena!! And at the end of the day,if you can SAY that you "almost died" on the Waimea River in the "Vortex of all Vortexes", I think that's pretty cool!!
Interesting how ‚almost dieing‘ is considered to be cool. I think Jamie is too cool to express that it scared the shit out of him and that he was just lucky. This whole stunt was exciting but insanely stupid.
Definitely a dangerous day on the river. Class five rapids with large waves coming in from the ocean the whole time sucking you out to sea. I could see how someone could get killed this day. Good thing everyone ended up ok.
I feel bad for everyone the never warn of doing this, you can see hundreds of people unable to walk back to their cars because of them doing this every time
Dude! This is popular amongst us whitewater kayaking beaters! F'ing awesome and glad to know we aren't the only ones to experience severe beatdowns. Yeeeyow!! Awesome!!
THIS is why I subscribe to your channel! That was horrendously heavy, well done for getting some rides and constantly sending it (and not drowning! 😂) 😁🤙
@@SaberVR979 Just do some research on this it can be illegal in some places but in this case the river is going to flow into the sea anyway and then when the tide comes in the sand banks will come back and the beach will be the same again

Hey Jamie I’m a big fan of you I live in Australia I love to surf the surf is sick
How about making the EZ UP a Staypsyched merch product? My beach days would be so killer.
🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
@jaimeobrienJOB, Do you think a big wave inflatable suit/vest would have helped you or made that situation worse?
The drone shot @11:04 is incredible. The contrast between the colors of water is insane, with a rainbow to top it off. Mother Nature is unreal
youre right she isn't🤣 its all God's doing
@@Ruiimai Nah God is unreal as well. It's just the law's of physics generating computationally irreducible patterns.
Nature sucks
@@rickybloss8537 lmfao 🤣 well put.
Quick question. Is that bad for the ocean at all? Does it mess up the habitat for the ocean life?
Imagine coming back from a long walk on the beach to find a raging river standing between you and your car
Must have sucked for them, I hope nobody got hurt or anything like that.

Bit more water than that time we dug it hahaha. You woulda been all over this!
YO THIS IS WHAT I MEAN EVERY PRO SURFUR TALKS THE SAME
What I love is, RUclips or not, Jamie was throwin down on this river. That’s why I subscribe babyyyyy!!! Glad everyone made it out safe!

it's usually the cause of beach pollution that makes it not suitable for swimming. Who knows what bacteria those flood are spreading.

waimea river went psycho mode
I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen Jamie out of breath.. Speaks volumes to how dangerous this was. Epic to watch tho 🤯
Probably doesn’t help being jacked on 70 Red Bulls 😂😂😂🤪
Old dude is old
10:38 that was for sure the most gnarly river mouth ride I have see anyone do
As someone that’s almost died in a river you guys are crazy. Always respect the power of Mother Nature she always wins.

Wow !! That was crazy !! Legit lifeguard telling those folks to back up , and ten minutes later it was all hell broke loose !!
The water at 10:00 is really cool! Biggest river break I've ever seen! Awesome!
Absolutely insane man!!! You are a beast! That was so gnarly!!!!!!
bout to happen to us yewww
I’ve watched them do this at least 10 times and this was by far the craziest!!!
11:03 I love how brown the seashore got, the contrast between it and the turquoise.
JAMIE O'BRIEN - WAVE OF THE WINTER !!!
As a whitewater kayaker ; features like this are usually avoided! Takes some guts without helmet, pfd, etc. glad no one was badly hurt
The recirculating current it produced is quite dangerous. Drowning machine dangerous. All that combined with a really rough surf meeting it head on. Crazy.
Only legends do this type of Sketchy stuff🤙
Gnarliest river break of all time!
That is the most dangerous surf event I have ever seen in all of surf history no doubt someone could get killed, glad everyone is OK looks like fun!
Go check out mavericks
Someone could easily get killed in a normal surf contest.
Glad you survived 🤙 That was HEAVY!🌊
This is definitely the gnarliest one I've seen! Epic!

I saw the thumbnail and was instantly hyped
This drone shots are fantastic
The fact that you fellas want to surf that is mind-boggling. Next level thrill seeking.
This one’s going to blow up Jamie! That thumbnail is INSANE!! PSYCHING!!!!
I saw a tiktok of how xl it got and have been waiting for you to drop this video! One more second on that wave and it turned into a MONSTER! Already was huge great work!
Several serious surfers just said that was heavy and one of the most sketch situations they were in. That’s saying a lot!

"you see me almost die ?"
"YEAH !!"

I thought the screen grabs were photo shopped when I first saw footage from this day. So scary!
Gnarly word been mentioned 100 times🤘crazy.

That is so violent at it's peak and these guys TRY to tame it. Mad props
Imagine parking your car between 2 rivers and someone dug a trench near your car connecting the river

WOAH! That's huge!!! Thanks for filming & sharing with us, I'll never make it to Hawaii let alone out of my hood LOL.
Jamie nails that corner pocket wedge, one of the gnarliest things I’ve seen on modern day, RUclips that wedge was sick and thick
This was so Rad! I was dying laughing when I saw how gnarly it was growing, psyching out of my mind.
do you guys have to get permission to break the river like that? or does it happen naturally overtime anywas? honest question..
Yeah I'm wondering the same thing
It can be man made or naturally but it will stop overtime
Ant it can prevent river flood
Bro actually just let this man have fun. Honest fact…
@@KNRLYMLLER its affecting the wildlife
those drone shots were so epic. amazing
Man that was crazy, so glad everyone made it out safe and sound. Next all time river everyone gonna be packing floatation or at least a leash. Must have been compete chaos going on under that rager.
U know its gnarly af when jaime is out of breathe!!! I'll just watch 😅
That was insane sick bro! Glad you alright. Stay Psyched!~
sooooo sick. the interviews were funny!
There is no way Jackson is topping this one, glad everyone made it 🤙
UnDamn! Super Gnarly. River Rip 2022 will go down in the books.
Great shot of the bay showing all of the river water in it.

Mega awesome project! But why do you build that year after year again and again? Say who tilts the because again and again with sand to?
Normally I am bored with the river surfing…however this was a different level and I thought you were going to drown.
You boys are so cool! I grew up at the California beaches ⛱️ with surfer boys just like you ♥️ 1970's xoxo grandma
This has to be the sickest river break ever!
Best & fastest rip tide I've ever seen....love it
omg how is this legal / okay for the environment? Just curious
To be honest, it’s not legal to make these they can destroy whole beach and you can’t reverse it
Stupid question, would that river have connected with the ocean if they didn’t dig? Do they start digging prior to the river cresting? Cool to watch!
I dont understand how destroying a beach like this is ok.
I think it’s aloud maybe
@@CubHi-lf2uvits not
Its actually legal.........
This is so dangerous 😢😢😢
They didn't destroy any beach, Mother Nature would eventually do this on her own. Do a little bit of research before you speak.
